When you close your eyes and think of Paris your imagination is
fired with images of demure, glamorous Parisians, stunning
architecture and art, pavement cafes, fresh croissants and coffee
aromas.
Whilst along the South Coast, you'll
discover Provençal hilltop villages and the ritzy, fashionable
Riviera, which is crammed full of beautiful people and designer
price tags.

Best time to visit: Prior to Easter expect some
rain and cooler temperatures. Springtime in Paris is ideal, though
we recommend May rather than April. June and September are probably
the best months to visit France; June has longer daylight hours.

July and August.
